M: Hi, Sarah. What’s up?
    W: Oh, hi, I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation.
    M: How did it go?
    W: Terribly. I’m sure I made a fool of myself.
    M: Why? Weren’t you prepared?
    W: No, it was not that I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I have to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and then I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing.
    M: It’s not so bad to blush.
    W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer, I blush like crazy if he calls on me. Doesn’t that ever happen to you?
    M: No, not really. Maybe you should just try to forget about the people. Look at something else in the room like the exit sign.
    W: I guess I could try that but I doubt it’ll help.
    M: You know, we talked about it iri psychology class. Blushing, even though it’s involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior.
    W: What do you mean?
    M: Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And among adults, supposedly, women blush more than men.
    W: I wonder why?
    M: I don’t know, but I have a friend at high school, Brian Smith.  It was really easy to make him blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order.
    W: I’m not that bad. Well, I’ve got to get going for my next class. I’ll talk to you later.
